You can sit wherever you like, and the interior is clean and tidy, giving the whole place a pleasant feel. There are partitions between the adjoining tables, so the space feels divided and it's easy to talk. It works well for a dinner date for two, a family meal out, or a group gathering. > The duruchigi and sotbap combo worked really well as a meal, and we added the jumbo egg roll on top ## Which duruchigi should you order? Oneuldo Utja Chowol's duruchigi (stir-fried dish) comes in three options: pork-only pork duruchigi, squid duruchigi, or squid pork duruchigi with both pork and squid together. Sotbap can be added separately. That day we ordered squid pork duruchigi, sotbap, and the jumbo egg roll. From what we've read, many families and groups order the restaurant's signature kimchi jjigae alongside duruchigi, but since it was just the two of us, we went with duruchigi. ![Squid pork duruchigi piled high with vegetables](https://img.superchart.com/images/todaysmile-chowol-squid-pork-durichigi/todaysmile-chowol-squid-pork-durichigi-08-x8l60-900.webp) ![Duruchigi with both squid and pork together](https://img.superchart.com/images/todaysmile-chowol-squid-pork-durichigi/todaysmile-chowol-squid-pork-durichigi-09-n7ou2-900.webp) ![Generous-looking pot of squid pork duruchigi](https://img.superchart.com/images/todaysmile-chowol-squid-pork-durichigi/todaysmile-chowol-squid-pork-durichigi-10-wq3lc-900.webp) The dish lets you eat squid and pork together, piled high with vegetables, so it looks generous and tastes great too. You can also add extra noodles or rice cakes to the duruchigi. ![Duruchigi piled high with bean sprouts and minari](https://img.superchart.com/images/todaysmile-chowol-squid-pork-durichigi/todaysmile-chowol-squid-pork-durichigi-11-1rqtg-900.webp) ![Duruchigi starting to simmer alongside side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/todaysmile-chowol-squid-pork-durichigi/todaysmile-chowol-squid-pork-durichigi-12-1l8g6-900.webp) ## How was the squid pork duruchigi? The duruchigi comes piled high with bean sprouts and minari (water dropwort), with squid and pork mixed in, and a staff member mixes it for you right at the table. The food comes out quickly after ordering, so it's easy to eat without a reservation — and maybe because the place has waits, the staff are efficient and friendly. ![Squid pork duruchigi after being mixed by staff](https://img.superchart.com/images/todaysmile-chowol-squid-pork-durichigi/todaysmile-chowol-squid-pork-durichigi-13-b2y7c-900.webp) ![Squid and pork stir-fried in spicy sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/todaysmile-chowol-squid-pork-durichigi/todaysmile-chowol-squid-pork-durichigi-14-1260e-900.webp) The squid pork duruchigi uses Oneuldo Utja's aged kimchi and domestic fresh meat, along with plump squid. The sauce is a spicy stir-fried style — even though it's a red sauce, it has a savory, spicy flavor. ![Picking up a plump piece of squid with chopsticks](https://img.superchart.com/images/todaysmile-chowol-squid-pork-durichigi/todaysmile-chowol-squid-pork-durichigi-15-lnhvu-900.webp) ![Close-up of duruchigi with domestic fresh pork](https://img.superchart.com/images/todaysmile-chowol-squid-pork-durichigi/todaysmile-chowol-squid-pork-durichigi-16-1ua4v-900.webp) ![Duruchigi sauce stir-fried with aged kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/todaysmile-chowol-squid-pork-durichigi/todaysmile-chowol-squid-pork-durichigi-17-uu5zp-900.webp) It's less of an aggressive spice and more of a flavor that pairs well when eaten with rice. > There's plenty of vegetables too, so eating them with the meat and squid gives you a nice mix of textures ![A chopstick-full of vegetables and meat from the duruchigi](https://img.superchart.com/images/todaysmile-chowol-squid-pork-durichigi/todaysmile-chowol-squid-pork-durichigi-18-1mvwk-900.webp) ![Duruchigi ingredients with varied textures](https://img.superchart.com/images/todaysmile-chowol-squid-pork-durichigi/todaysmile-chowol-squid-pork-durichigi-19-1ddo3-900.webp) ![Table set with the duruchigi dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/todaysmile-chowol-squid-pork-durichigi/todaysmile-chowol-squid-pork-durichigi-20-1egzr-m-900.webp) ## Sotbap cooked to order with Suhyangmi rice The sotbap (stone-pot rice) at Oneuldo Utja Chowol is made in a machine right in front of the open kitchen as soon as you order. You get freshly cooked, warm rice, and it's on the chewier, stickier side even for sotbap. ![Freshly cooked sotbap served right after ordering at Oneuldo Utja Chowol](https://img.superchart.com/images/todaysmile-chowol-squid-pork-durichigi/todaysmile-chowol-squid-pork-durichigi-21-wffef-900.webp) ![Shiny, chewy Suhyangmi rice sotbap](https://img.superchart.com/images/todaysmile-chowol-squid-pork-durichigi/todaysmile-chowol-squid-pork-durichigi-22-miy2b-900.webp) According to the menu details, it's made with single-variety Suhyangmi rice, and it went well with the duruchigi sauce — shiny and chewy. Since the dish leans spicy, the jumbo egg roll was a great side to add. ![A spoonful of sotbap topped with duruchigi](https://img.superchart.com/images/todaysmile-chowol-squid-pork-durichigi/todaysmile-chowol-squid-pork-durichigi-23-fndx3-900.webp) ## Is the jumbo rolled omelette worth adding? The jumbo egg roll ordered as a side isn't pre-made — it's made fresh as soon as you order it, so it comes out warm and soft, which pairs nicely with the spicy duruchigi. ![Jumbo egg roll made fresh upon ordering](https://img.superchart.com/images/todaysmile-chowol-squid-pork-durichigi/todaysmile-chowol-squid-pork-durichigi-24-1xsrq-900.webp) > Spicy duruchigi, egg roll, and a spoonful of sotbap topped with duruchigi — it's a combo you can't stop reaching for It works well as a drinking snack, but it's just as good as a proper meal. ## Where it is - Oneuldo Utja Chowol (오늘도웃자 초월) - 43-1 Sansu-ro, Chowol-eup, Gwangju-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea - 경기도 광주시 초월읍 산수로 43-1 1층 - 37.3664252, 127.3165198 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%98%A4%EB%8A%98%EB%8F%84%EC%9B%83%EC%9E%90%20%EC%B4%88%EC%9B%94/@37.3664252,127.3165198,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@between-courses/todaysmile-chowol-squid-pork-durichigi/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
